Talk 2
How to monitor apps running on GCP with Elastic
This session will delve into strategies for effectively monitoring apps deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Elastic, with a focus on Application Performance Monitoring (APM). We will explore deployment options for Elastic and learn how to utilize its capabilities for full stack observability. Practical examples will highlight real-time incident handling scenarios and techniques for conducting root cause analysis, ensuring optimal application performance and reliability in GCP environments.

Speaker: Evelien Schellekens @ Elastic

Talk 3
How google runs production: An SRE approach
In this session I will share an SRE approach with an example of how to start with writing SLI,SLO for your microservices. We will touch base on the basics of the SRE terminology and how things look like in real time when an incident occurs and how to handle it without panic.

Speaker: Rushil Sharma @ Google
